Talking about cheap netbooks, I was in PC World a couple of weeks ago.
They had a really cheap device on show, which looked as if it ran
something like Windows 95,
but on closer examination the names of the programs it ran were
slightly off - I didn;t spend too long
looking at it though.
My suspicion was that it was running a skinned Linux distro, made to
look like windows.
